Very Small Things
A mouse in the house
Library reference materials weren't cutting it. Bill
Cigliano was drawing mice running on a giant DNA-inspired
double helix, and he thought some in-studio inspiration
would better do the trick. "So I went to the pet store and
got the little guy," he says of the mouse pictured at
right. "I liked the shape of him." That yet-to-be-named
rodent became the model for all the mice you'll see in "Of Mice and Medicine" — and a
new addition to the Cigliano menagerie. A regular
contributor to Johns Hopkins Magazine, Cigliano is
known for his animal illustrations, including some for
Harper Collins children's books. Recently he illustrated
the MLB All-Star program and three posters for the Kentucky
State Fair.
A thousand points of green light
Pretty much the day she walked into the magazine's office,
Corbin Gwaltney Fellow Siobhan Paganelli, A&S '08, had her
heart set on writing a story about student-generated
sustainability programs at Johns Hopkins. Nice idea, but
would there be enough of them to fill a feature? Siobhan
was insistent. She was also right. Bright, outgoing, and
enthusiastic, she was plugged into campus life, and she was
able to track down all of the little projects that we
hadn't heard about. Five of them made it into "Green Idea! It Might Just Work"
— a story she wrote just before heading to Asia
for a five-week graduation-celebration trip. Congrats,
Siobhan! — CP
